One of the more famous
London
attractions
is Trafalgar Square. The Square was once as famous for its
feral pigeons as it was for being home to Nelsons Column
and
The National Gallery
The name of the Square alludes
to the victory by British Royal Navy over the Napoleonic
forces at the Battle of Trafalger - hence the statue of Lord
Admiral Nelson who commanded the Navy at the battle.

The area was originally cleared by John Nash, who was also
commissioned for the design of Regent
Street although the present of design is by Charles Barry
and was completed in 1845.
